[FONT=verdana,geneva]Cornerback Terence Newman gingerly walked off the practice field here Monday morning in Oxnard and was put on the trainer table. Newman didn't exactly limping off the field, so his status is still uncertain. The injury looked more like a cramp or dehydration. [/FONT]
After spending several minutes inside a make-shift training room, Newman returned to the field, but has yet to return to practice.

And Newman isn't the only cornerback not on the practice field. Quincy Butler has not been on the field all morning. Team officials have no word on his status.

More on Newman, Butler Inuries

Cornerbacks Terence Newman and Quincy Butler each missed at least part of practice Monday morning, though neither injury appears to be too serious.
Newman left practice before team drills and looked to be having his ankle re-taped in a makeshift trainer's room before returning to watch team drills for the remainder of practice. No word yet on his availability for this afternoon's workout.
Butler, a Cowboys practice-squad reserve all last season, did not dress out for the morning practice and watched the drills while wearing a battery-powered muscle stimulator on his leg. Wade Phillips is expected to address both injuries at his 2:45 p.m. (PDT) press conference.
Also missing practice for the second straight day were linebackers Justin Rogers (stomach virus) and Tearrius George (knee bruise).
